Painting of the day (choker necklace) / Slika dana (ogrlica uz vrat)

EN Accessories are important. Do you agree? What are your favourite accessories? How do you feel about the choker necklace trend? Do you think it will soon end or will it stay for a while more? Or perhaps evolve into something else? Sometimes fashion is less about drastic changes and more about one clothing item evolving into something else. Why do we have trends at all? Probably to bring in a bit of change in our life. Sometimes I wonder whether it is really our need for a change (i.e. for spicing things up) or is just our nature to reflect change that is always present in the world?

Trends are by no means limited to fashion. There are furniture trends, literary trends, music trends, photography trends etc. Sometimes it is quite easy to connect these trends with certain historical or political events, but sometimes things are a bit more complex. Moreover, once in a while there is something wonderfully mysterious and refreshing about trends. At times it is really about some individual coming up with something creative and wonderful. Today fashion is more global. In one way it is fantastic because we have this feeling of connection. However, the downside is that many original ideas are suppressed by globalization. This is a fascinating subject for sure. Perhaps I'll write more about it in future.

Anyhow, most trends don't simply disappear, rather they change gradually. For example, last year it was all about flare sleeves and this year it is all about 'sleeves' drama. Sleeves with ruffles, asymmetrical sleeves, sleeves with different kind of flares- those that are a cut out. Different interpretations of 'sleeve drama'. I will probably wait until the Spring (or until it gets warmer) to explore 'sleeve' interpretations ,because it's rather cold and I don't really take my jacket off when I go outside (at times I even keep in on in doors). Perhaps I don't need to wait for Spring. I should be able to figure out how to wear this trend even in Winter.

Very lovely drawing dear! love how you incorporate another medium in your artwork this time! when I was young, I used to be so obsessed about making my own jewelries too hahaha your artwork makes me feel! <3
